[split] Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis

[jiml]

times passes fast, it has been 10 weeks since I started, weekly increasing I am up to this now... You think it might be too fast?
It is hard to find any doctor to know anything about this drug... So far she is controlling my blood and body, but not really sure about the dosis. We were going mostly as Fumaderm scheduled, just 2 times / day instead of 3.
the schedule was 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 daily for each week, t hen increase of 120 every week...

Joane I'm not sure it just seemed fast to get to a high dose Caroline should be able to tell more when she is online. It may be fine I'm on Fumaderm and the dosing is different

Hi Ladybug,

I would agree with Jim and skip the odd dose if things get a bit tough. From my experience with the drug 720 mg would be doing far more than 240 mg, but the pharmacology of the raw drug may be a little different as I get its effects quite quickly.

Cheers,

Bill

I agree with Bill and Jim, you could take a breath in the speed of building up. Keep it steady for a while.

I have my doses also in the morning and in the evening.
Indeed there can be delayed effects. In the sense that when taking the evening portion I sometimes wake up and realize I had a flush.
And also my intestines can be quite busy in the night, but I can deal with that immediately the next morning.

Your derm could contact dokter Kunst or dr. Van Loon in the Netherlands to get building up information.

Definitely I am keeping it stable from now on and keeping it steady.
The delayed effect is slow release, I am just surprised how slow release it is, but it is nice.

73rd day today...

95th day,

question - anyone had remissions during using Fumaderm / Psorinovo? I mean... It all seems to be getting a bit better, however new patches still coming out... The worst thing is they come out within 3 days and take 1 month to get better... Neverending battle...
happy Holidays to all!

Hi Joana,

No, I did not have remissions. It just started to get better. Now with me the PsA is the most important, that may be a difference. What is the dose you are on now?

Hi Joane
Are you still on 960g a day? If so I would have expected to see some improvement by now..although I'm on Fumaderm like Carolune I have not had a flare up of any significance since I initally cleared the only flare up of the psoriasis was when I dropped my dose to just 2x120mg tablets a day I'm back up to three tablets now 360mg and am almost clear again. I don't know what the maximum dose of Psorinovo is but I believe you can go higher than that

There is virtually no limit, as long as you keep a very good eye on your blood value, spefically on the lymphocytes and the liver functions.

Yes I am on 960, improvement is visible, although I also used a lot of sun that helped a lot (trip), and it used to help. Now almost clean, however there are new patches that I feel coming out ocasionally, especially when I am not exposed to sunlight for 1-2 days.... I am thinking maybe this dose is too small if it keeps growing again?

J.

[LadyBug]

Maybe different question then - before the pills started working - were there new patches coming out still?
